Died
Maier -- On December 31, 1888, at the residence of Henry Roggs, near McClure, Ohio; Barbara Maier, aged 87 years, 1 month and 15 days. Mother Maier was born in Wurttemberg, Germany, November 16 1801. She was the mother of nine children, four of whom preceded her to the spirit land. In the year 1838 in company with her husband, Gottlieb F. Maier, she left the home of her childhood and settled in Pennsylvania, where they remained until 1849 when they came to Henry County, where they lived until 1884, when her husband was called by the relentless hand of death. From this time she was the subject of severe affliction which she bore with patience, for at the early age of fourteen years she was made the recipient of the comforts which religion yields to its possessor. Funeral services held at Christian Union Church, Jan. 2nd 1889, by Rev. J.W. Myers and Rev. Sinclair. Sermon delivered both in English and German.
Lay down the cross dear mother,
The crown appears in view,
No more will tempests gather,
Or sorrows thee pursue.
Safe, safe within the harbor,
In your bright land so fair,
We'll meet you in the morning,
Yes, we will meet you there.
